Toyota:  We’re gonna tease you with what you want, but good fucking luck ever being able to buy it from us.

I NEED THIS

Yes, cars lose value when you drive them off the lot but not half. EVs lose half their value when you drive them off the lot.

I understand a lot of the concerns around speed cameras, and in general I’m opposed. But in all the outrage expressed in the comment sections of the news articles here in Rochester, none of the outrage was that SO MANY FUCKING PEOPLE ARE SPEEDING THROUGH THE SCHOOL ZONES.

Being that you don’t get the tickets immediately, it’s possible the guy hasn’t received a ticket yet, and thus doesn’t know he is violating in the school zone.

We have one like that for a middle school on a feeder road for the highway, normal speed limit 55mph, 25 during school zone hours. Now I am perfectly fine with school zones, but like it’s on a highway feeder (frontage road for those not in Texas),  like there is never a kid walking to school lol.

This. I got hit with three photos tickets in the same place over two weeks before I got a single letter in the mail. At least when a cop pulls you over, you know instantly what to watch out for 

Is it at all possible that in those 10 days the driver didn’t actually know yet that they were accumulating the tickets? So, clearly, speeding in a school zone is not ideal, a presumed lag in the system would mean they didn’t realize they were racking up fines. 

If you think that’s bad, have a listen to a podcast called Cautionary Tales, specifically the episode called, ‘The City That Sold Itself To Wall Street’.

As someone who wrote RFP responses to state and local governments for speed cameras, red light and parking enforcement, and toll collection systems, I’m shocked the city is getting that much.

For every $50 fine paid, $17 goes to the city, and $33 goes to the camera company.

I’m in Syracuse and they are planning to install cameras here. Everyday on my commute, I drive through by an elementary school with a posted 20mph speed limit. Everyday, I have someone on my bumper when I slow down to that speed. The cars ahead and in the other lane seem to ignore the speed, too.

I honestly don’t like speed cams at all as I don’t think they really do anything, especially when you live close to another state or district (Hello DC!). But the fact that of the $50, the private company gets $33 is just insane. The money should mostly go to the city to then make the school zones safer, until ticket…

Invest $75 million and jump around like a twat in order to get rid of regulators?  Sounds like a bargain, American style.

Ironically, Tesla will get the government contract to make the very guillotine that takes Elon’s head.

The reason Musk is supporting Trump is the same reason many of the billionaire-owned newspapers (Bezos’ Washington Post, for example) declined to endorse Harris: Money.

Right those first gen cars were actively trying to kill you every time you drove it.

With these, it isn’t so much mechanical breakdown, but rather the probability of wrapping them around a tree.
